Subject: [PATCH 4/4] nfs: deadlock prevention for NFS

From: Peter Zijlstra <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2006 17:40:27 +0200

Provide a proper a_ops->swapfile() implementation for NFS. This will
set the NFS socket to SOCK_VMIO and put the socket reconnection under
PF_MEMALLOC (I hope this is enough, otherwise more work needs to be done).
